“Little girls with dreadlocks are no longer left out of fun hair play with Sugar Snaps Hair Barrettes,” said K. Hill, founder of Loccessories.

Almost immediately out of the womb, girls are bombarded with idyllic standards of acceptable beauty norms and placed on a sliding scale of where and how they measure up.

Fun hair play is an essential part of young girls’ identity formation and self-esteem building. What’s a little girl with dreadlocks and twists to do when her need for hair accessories is not met by the mainstream hair market?

During their initial research, the Loccessories team found that there were no hair barrettes for girls with locs. Sugar Snaps are designed to help girls with locs boost confidence while offering the “cute factor” that little girls love. Each Sugar Snap hair barrette features clasps with small teeth made for gripping locs, twists, and braids into place. Sugar Snaps are non-damaging to natural hair while being durable and lightweight. Each Sugar Snap offers the ideal fit and is designed to stay in place all day.

Sugar Snaps are now available on the Loccessories website, where customers can choose between 5 sets with 20-24 pieces each for $10. More information can be found at http://sugarsnapsgirl.com

“Dressing up your hair with fun, colorful accessories is an essential part of a little girl’s identity formation. Now, little girls with locs, twists, and braids no longer have to feel left out of the party,” said K. Hill.
